THE TOTALLY TACKY TALL TALES OF TAMERA

The OC kitty kats were in full attack mode last night during the Real Housewives of OC reunion show. While looking back at the seasons "meow moments"  the gorgeous girls sat divided Peggy, Vikki and Tamera on one couch with Gretchen and Alexis teaming up on the other. The reunion started out quite calmly giving the impression the girls might continue slightly civil throughout the evening. However tensions with Tamera and Gretchen grew swiftly as accusations were thrown and name calling began. 

In the beginning  the good looking well kept Gretchen appeared to be a gold digger,  dating the rich older man and loving the lavish life-style of an OC princess. As seasons past and time moved on we began to view Gretchen in a new light. Now dating the under-paid Slade who barley has a pot to poop in Gretchen seems to be supporting the two.  Even though she has expressed concerns about the complex child support issues her main man has been handling she still devotes her life to Slade and shows a genuine interest in walking down the isle with him for richer or poorer. Viewers cannot deny that once deemed "greedy" Gretchen she now appears to be looking for love and truly seems  honestly happy with simple dreams for her and Slade. Greedy and Gold digging seems far off the grid for this gorgeous gal. Gretchen seems to be the small town girl who came to the big city and while not looking for it, luckily landed into the lavish lifestyle we'd all learn to love.

new boyfriend Eddie



Gretchen has grown on viewers this season. Showing the "not so greedy" Gretchen made it easy to embrace her and also made it extremely easy to dislike certain other Housewives who didn't seem to share in the viewers new found outlook and love for Gretchen.

Gretchen and Tamera
Housewives of the OC



Housewives like Tamera seem to spend the majority of the season attempting to make up for the nasty not so nice and negative things she may have said about nearly all the other girls. Tamera claims her bad behavior toward the other housewives was due only to her horrible relationship with Simon and how horrifically hard it was for her during the disastrous divorce. She claimed she was going threw an emotional roller coaster and did admit on occasion throughout the season that she had some damage control to do with the other housewives. What she neglected to do , however was to apologize to any of the other girls. While being there for Vikki when she needed to vent about her demising relationship with Donn, Vikki did say several times how she was still guarded when it came to Tamera. While telling Vikki she"had her back", Vikki wittingly sighed and denied having Tamera's back claiming last year Tamera stuck the knife in and poured salt to the wound after vowing to "have her back".  As viewers waited for the apology, it never seemed to come. Instead Tamera spent countless hours pretending to come to Vikki's rescue, taking her on a much needed vacation while again not apologizing. Then she was there wiping Vikki's tears at her apparent divorce/I'm single/ I'm not going to talk about Donn but all I'm going to do is cry about Donn party. ( so over the top dramatic) Once again, there was no apology. 



Gretchen explains her feelings to Tamera during
Real Housewives of the OC
Reunion Episode

 Tamera said a number of heartless things about Gretchen for the past few seasons as well with no apology. She made alarming accusations about Gretchen sleeping around while her sick husband Jeff was in the hospital dying. She also speaks about Slade and calls him a dead beat dad claiming he doesn't pay his child support. Gretchen tried desperately to explain what is clearly evident to all except Tamera, that Slade is simply not making the same money he was years ago. he is not trying to weasel out of his child support but instead wants it reevaluated to pay what he now can afford. Tamera continues to terrorize them making many mean and downright horrible remarks about the situation sparing no ones feelings and showing no remorse. She neglects to apologize for the comments shes made about Slade or Gretchen and even becomes infuriated with Jeana for apparently showing the same disregard for her as she has shown to Gretchen.

Throughout the season Tamera tells too many tales to count even. She now claims that Simon was abusive towards her and has him arrested for getting allegedly physical with her. Jeana and many others do not believe the story and become vocal about it. Tamera then takes the opportunity at Vikki's party to start trouble with Jeana screaming at her then throwing a drink in her face for all ( including the viewers) to see. She then turns it around ( after we have already seen what happened) and tells this tacky tale of Jeana getting violent with her. She even goes so far as to proclaim herself as an innocent bystander claiming Jeana should not have portrayed such awful behavior at Vikki's party.

Gretchen or Tamera
Who's side are you on?



 Tamera decides to throw a party inviting Gretchen and the other girls. Gretchen reluctantly agrees to come but still awaits an apology for Tamera's terrible tall tale to the tabloids about her alleged cheating on her deceased ex. Instead Tamera feels because she has invited Gretchen to her party that all should be forgotten and she should not have to apologize. During the reunion Gretchen is poised and classy. She asks Tamera politely why she simply cannot just apologize and admit her behavior was outlandish and inappropriate. Still Tamera refuses the apology and even exclaims Gretchen is being obsessive and needs to get over it and move on. 

Tamera has displayed totally tacky, terrible behavior. She neglects to apologize for the tall tales she tells and truly needs to install a filter system to her dialect. She is hurtful and cruel in her comments and in no way deserves forgiveness from any one of the many she has seemingly set out to hurt. Her relationship with Simon may have been abusive in her eyes while it lasted but if she continues to portray that same abusive behavior towards the other housewives her marriage will not be the only thing ending. She will undoubtedly lose all the friendships she truly needs as well. Wake up Tamera, your tall tales and totally tacky terrible treatment of the others is just simply tasteless!
